The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

"You would never guess that she promised me that in a few years, she would definitely let me live the kind of life I could ever imagine."

"If that kind of life weren't so enviable, I probably wouldn't have wanted to leave. But what's the point of saying that now? I really do want to thank you for not putting me in too much of a difficult position during this time. If you need me in the future, I'd still be willing to come back. Without you..."

Having said that, he fell silent, unable to utter another word. At this point, no matter what he said, he would be accused of having ulterior motives. And even if Boss Li was showing such emotions now, he still harbored a great deal of displeasure towards him. Rather than saying so much, it was better to say nothing at all.

Tong Qian looked at Kui'er and wondered what kind of encounters they had had before. Otherwise, Kui'er might have developed a deep-rooted idea. But whatever it was, it would be too disadvantageous for her. Even if she really admired Kui'er's piano skills, she didn't want to have such an uncertain factor by her side.

Boss Li didn't expect that Kui'er would kneel down on the ground as soon as she came out. He had indeed considered many practical factors when he agreed to Tong Qian's request. However, he also believed that Tong Qian would not have spoken up if she hadn't obtained Kui'er's consent, so as not to embarrass himself.

But I never expected this to happen. When I tried to help her up, I saw her resistance and had to stop. I had so many questions about what she was planning to do.

Now, listening to her talk about these things again, I feel so ashamed of myself. Regardless of whether there is such a possibility, at least she said she would come back, which gave me some comfort. But in the end, all I could think about was the three hundred taels of silver that Tong Qian mentioned.

As for those heartfelt words at the end, they were nothing more than a helpless sigh when something he had always cherished was taken away by someone else without warning. He never expected that Kui'er would have such feelings for him.

She sat there restlessly, unsure whether to stand up or sit. After all, Tong Qian and Yun Ya were still there, and they might criticize whatever she did. Besides, Kui'er was now one of their people, and she was worried that she might act inappropriately...

Seeing the two of them acting like this, Tong Qian didn't know how to start a conversation. If they were both very firm in their attitudes, she might be able to say something, but she had never been good at handling matters of the heart. She could only stare intently at the teacup in her hand.

After saying that, Kui'er kowtowed three times, feeling unsure of how to feel. After all, Boss Li had helped her during her most difficult time, and no matter how hurt she was by his previous attitude, she couldn't remain indifferent.

Seeing the awkward situation before her, Yun Yatou simply helped her up without hesitation and made her sit on a stool. She said with some displeasure, "Stop always kneeling. Instead of doing that, why not change yourself and do something else?" As she said this, she glanced at Boss Li.

However, after Kui'er sensed Yun'er's movement, she struggled to sit up, but suddenly became extremely resistant, completely ignoring the words Yun'er was muttering to herself.

Tong Qian noticed Yun Yatou's expression. When she first met her, Yun Yatou was also timid and at a loss. But in just a few days, she was able to express her thoughts in this environment and was no longer someone who only needed to stand behind others.

There is also a great deal of comfort in my heart. I do not belong to this era, even if I am in another person's body. But I am still a modern person. Even if I cannot change the thoughts of everyone here, I hope that the people around me can be freed from such shackles.

But at this moment, the boss spoke up and said, "Kui'er, it's alright, just sit there. You're no longer a member of this teahouse, so there's no need to follow those unwritten rules anymore. I used to scold you so loudly for all those messy things, and now that I think about it, it was a bit inappropriate."

"Even so, you didn't blame me for those things before. Now that I think about it, I should apologize to you. You will naturally get more by following Miss Tong than you can here. Miss Tong's abilities, even if you can't see them now, I know them very well."

"The promises she made to you will naturally be fulfilled in the end. She can show you her difference in such a simple way. After that, just follow her and do what she asks you to do. I hope that when we meet again, you will be very different from how you are now."

As he spoke, he tried his best to explain the things he had thought of and hadn't thought of. It seemed that in the end, Boss Li had a lot of lingering feelings. It was hard to say how much of it was really for Kui'er, but at least he was probably worried about the future operation of the teahouse.

If it really is just a simple teahouse, the number of customers will gradually decrease, and the things I'm so proud of will become insignificant. Moreover, with Tong Qian watching me like a hawk, this teahouse is probably nearing its end. However, I don't know what my father will say to me when I get back.

When he spoke, there was a lot more warmth in his voice, giving people a different feeling than before.

It was only at this moment that Tong Qian truly understood that even in this place, there were no absolute friends, only a peaceful relationship achieved under the premise of relative interests. Thinking about it this way, Brother Xiuping was still better to her. Even in that situation before, he did not ask her to do anything excessively.

During this process, Tong Qian did not interrupt their conversation. She simply sat there, her mind constantly wandering.
